Like an M1A2 taking 2 RPGs, tons of RPK machine gun fire, and 3 T-72 shells and surviving.

Cobra's right...there was this 1 Abrams that took 2 direct 125mm shells from 2 different T-72 and didn't phase it a bit.

Would a Tiger II tank be able to take that much fire? considering its armour was like 100mm thick?

I thought it was 160-180? or is that the Panther IV? probably not from an Abrams, Leopard, Merkava. It could take alot of hits from a Sherman...5 Shermans to destroy one Tiger I and it had even less armor than the Tiger II.

The Tiger II is no problem for the Abrams' and Leopard 2's smoothbore 120mm cannon, as well as no problem for the Challenger 2's 120mm rifled cannon.  They  fire SABOT rounds or as it is known by its nickname "silver bullet" and that slice through the Tiger 2's armor like it was butter.

i dont know why ppl put the sherman in the best tanks category ,books, tv,whatever ,i think it sucks it was good against infantry like the german stug but agaisnt the other panzers......sure they made a lot of them and they were fast but their armor and guns????even the 76mm cannon wasnt much of a killing gun
